I'm building a React app using "Create React App." When the development server is running and I try to modify a file, it seems to be locked. My IDE returns an error message. To be clear, I'm running the app in the Windows filesystem /mnt/c/etc....

Your Windows build number:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

What you're doing and what's happening:
I ran npm run start and everything seems to work properly initially...

What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
The server runs as expected, and given the changes in the Windows Creators Update, I expected the automatic reload to work. Here is what I experience when I try to save a file in JetBrains' WebStorm:

I'm not sure how to get more information about the error.
